Cech seeks to secure his future

Published on: 20 September 2018

Petr Cech has vowed to concentrate on doing his best every time he takes to the field for Arsenal, with the veteran goalkeeper out of contract at the end of the season.

The 36-year-old Czech is currently in his fourth season with the Gunners, having previously enjoyed a decade across London with Chelsea.

I'm in the last year of the contract, so I guess it depends on my performances.

However, his future is far from certain at the Emirates Stadium, especially following the summer arrival of Germany international Bernd Leno, who is ten years Cech's junior, from Bayer Leverkusen.

Cech told reporters ahead of a Europa League clash with Vorskla Poltava, in which Leno will start: "I'm in the last year of the contract, so I guess it depends on my performances, the way I play and the way I stay fit throughout the season - then we'll see what happens next.

"When you bring players in you do that to improve the squad and to make it competitive and Bernd is here, trains every day and tries to get his spot, which keeps everyone in the goalkeeping group on their toes, including me.

"I have to work hard not only to make sure the manager picks me for the weekend, but as well that he sticks with me.

"At the moment I've been playing and I try to do my best and hope the manager is happy with my performances."

The Gunners are currently priced at 2/1 to finish in the top four in the Premier League this season, while they are 9/1 to lift the FA Cup and 8/1 to triumph in the Europa League.
